Another trick you could try to see if its a dhcp problem is to assign static ip addresses to each wired device using the subnet you selected. If this works you need to reset the settings for dhcp on the router for all the devices. Also as suggested by helpfinder first, push a firmware update (if update is needed) on the router and reset to reconfigure it again.
You didn't say if the computers are connected directly to the router or are all connected through a switch. The latter is very common.
This sounds like the switch is turned off or a bad connection or cable - most likely between the postulated switch and the router.
It would make sense to plug a computer directly into the router if any of the above fits your situation.
And, start with a static IP on the computer as has already been suggested.

Can you get to the management interface on the Linksys router? Can you verify that everything is still correctly configured?
